Get Your Pope Cookies at This Bronx Bakery

Missing Emperor Palpatine Pope Benedict XVI already? One Bronx Bakery has just the thing: black-and-white sugar cookies emblazoned with the Pope’s image, so that his papacy can live on in your hearts and stomachs forever. “So many people loved these cookies,” says Anthony Artuso of Artuso Pastry Shop. “We still get calls asking for them, but we only made them during the pope’s [2008] visit.”

But now, after Benedict announced his resignation, Artuso decided to whip up another batch. Head to the bakery at 670 East 187th Street in Belmont to pick one up. Only $2 a pop! And check out a video of the holy confectioneries being made above
